INEC To Resume Presidential Election Results Collation Tuesday

The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has said the collation of the 2023 presidential election results would resume on Tuesday.

Yakubu stated this at the National Collation Centre, Abuja on Monday.

Before the announcement, the Peoples Democratic Party had asked INEC to halt further collation of the 2023 presidential results until the results are uploaded on its server.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed this on Monday night at a joint press briefing with the PDP presidential campaign council held at the National Headquarters of the party in Abuja.

Ologunagba stated that it is very clear from the votes as cast at the polling units across the country that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, substantially defeated the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, in line with the expressed aspiration and Will of Nigerians.

The spokesperson maintained that the alleged deliberate delay by INEC paved the way for the “reported compromise, alteration, falsification and switching of election results in favour of the APC in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Ondo, Ekiti, Kebbi, Ogun and other states where our candidate was in clear lead”.

Ologunagba added that the PDP, therefore, rejects the manipulated election results as announced by INEC while cautioning that INEC is pushing Nigerians to the wall by announcing manipulated results.
